In Bleak House I have purposely dwelt upon the romantic side of familiar things. In the Preface to Bleak House I remarked that I had never had so many readers. My misfortune was to carry it into print when I began to write a story, in the Ik Marvel manner, or rather to compose it in type at the case, for that was what I did; and it was not altogether imitated from Ik Marvel either, for I drew upon the easier art of Dickens at times, and helped myself out with bald parodies of Bleak House in many places. |
